Today, we’re highlighting our Veteran Pet Support Program, which helps veterans experiencing homelessness access emergency veterinary care, wellness services and support for their pets.For many veterans, their pets are more than companions. They provide protection, emotional support and stability during the hardest chapters of life. Keeping these families together matters.One recent case involved Roxy, a 9-year-old Boxer, whose guardian is a Marine Corps veteran.
